Since my new system is going to cost a lot of money, I want to ease the pain somewhat by selling my current PC. How much would this system still fetch second-hand?
I think between £200-£300. The reason is - The graphics, the sound, the HDD and the PSU. I just saw a P4 2Ghz Compaq system on eBay for £350. It had 160GB HDD, 256MB graphics and a dedicated sound card. Anyone looking to upgrade your machine would not want to spend so much money buying new parts (especialy if it a an old case) and someone who just wants a basic machine (which is what this is) would not want to spen too much money on....a basic machine....
Okay, thanks! I'm thinking about offering it on Ebay starting at €100 ($120), but without the screen. I'd like to get double for that really, but between the hassle of shipping or coming to collect it, I doubt there would be much bids if I let it start at €200 ($240)
I had a second thought: maybe I could convert it into a machine for storing and synching digital music to the other PC's within our wireless network. Anyone got any experience with this?
Well, if you put the music on it, in a shared folder of course, and then make a playlist on the client computer of the songs on the server you would have it. Thats the easiest way I can think of.
